Fulshear permits home occupations in residential districts as accessory uses, subject to Coordinated Development Ordinance limits on scale, employees, and outward appearance.
Under Fulshear's Coordinated Development Ordinance, home-based businesses are allowed only as a clearly secondary use of a dwelling. The use must be conducted entirely within the home, must not change the residential character of the property, and outdoor storage of business materials is prohibited. Non-resident employees are typically restricted, and operations causing noise, odor, vibration, or glare detectable beyond the property line are not allowed. Operators should review CDO Article on accessory uses and consult Development Services before opening.
Notice of violation, daily fines, and revocation of accessory-use status. Continued non-compliance may trigger municipal court citations.
